[Rd] Autoconf / Windows package building problem for device package

[Tadashi Kadowaki]

Simon,

Now, pdf2 does not use "manually created config.h", but create own
config.h by itself.
The package also does not refer internal headers installed with R.
However, the package
needs internal headers, because original pdf device code needs them.
Therefore, It has
local copies of the headers.
Your suggestion is quite proper, and this is still bad implementation.
But, to catch up the
development of pdf device in the R core, my approach is pragmatic. I'll release
version-specific packages by using internal headers of each R
versions. If the package
checks R version strictly, this approach should be not so dangerous,
because almost
all code of pdf2 is from original pdf device code.
(I know I have to use pdf device code and headers from R 2.7.1 now)

Regards,
Tadashi Kadowaki
